Tyj)es in the Indian Museum. A third female in the same collection taken by me at Darjiliug, 26. V. 10, evidently belongs also to this species. It has the 2nd scapal joint M-holly yellow, and the ovipositor is not conspicuous, but appears to be withdrawn, the lamellae only protruding. Family BLEPHAROCERID^. A family of very limited extent, composed of rather small, delicate flies, w^ith slender bodies and long slender legs; the insects conspicuous chiefly by a so-called " secondary " venation, which.
